Registration for the NPPL Season and Huntington Beach Surf City USA Opens Right Now!!

not sure where your head is but take it out of there and take a step back.

if the prices are increasing because there are less teams, then they should not just up the entry for everyone that is playing. what they should be doing is trying to figure out what to do to get more teams to play NPPL. at this rate, and with exactly what you said ( ) then that means each year, with less and less teams, the ones that are playing will have their entrance increased by 10% or more from the following year. That will happen until no one wants to play or NPPL goes bankrupt.

I have no complained once about the entrance fee but i thought it was way high. But when you come in here and say something as ignorant of that, you have shown you obviously do not know what will come of this if it continues to happen down the road.

Agreed. Basically NPPL can make roughly the same amount as last year by getting fewer teams but those teams that sign up pay more. However, if the prices continue to increase there will come a time when NPPL starts to go negative from too many teams leaving due to high pricing.

Theyll be able to get away with it for a little while but eventually teams will just start switching over to the cheaper feeder series such as DLeague or whatever or even possibly switching to PSP.

Any team submits a roster that does not qualify for the division the have applied to enter can/will
be bumped to the qualifying Division with no notice from the League. Increased entry fees will be
due before the team is allowed to play. The team may also pay the higher “late fee” for
registering, approximately $200.0

Is this rule put in place to prevent teams from sandbagging and playing down a division or is it also designed to prevent teams from playing up? My instinct tells me its the former, but with all these changes to the structure of the league, I just want to be sure.

Can I register a team in the D2 division even though the majority of the players on the roster have a D3/D4 ranking in the NPPA or are simply unranked/have never played an NPPL event before? Or will they bump the team down a division (or two) without saying anything and charge us more money?

Yes you can register a lower team into a higher division without repercussions. This rule is only to help eliminate sandbagging, not to deter teams from playing up divisions.
